EPTI'm quite shocked to read some people seem to take this list as completely serious. Or does my reading comprehension fail this much?
Dutch girl commits suicide over ''Banga-List" - Page 3

Blaming a 13 year old girl for her own suicide on the basis that she's a "slut" is NOT acceptable. | ||

If you object, you just can't handle the truth. When someone commits suicide, there can be a lot of different reasons, but one of them can easily be a group of kids just deciding that it was fun to pick on that person because he or she was somewhat different, and well - they wanted a victim. Gay teenagers are more likely to commit suicide for precisely that reason. And that's not because they 'can't handle the truth' - it's because fucking morons think it's fun to ruin someones life for shit and giggles. | ||

This is eerily reminiscent of the book Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher, who did an extraordinary job of capturing the depressive thought processes of a teenage girl, and the complex cruelty of the high school social environment. | ||

I've seen way too many half-dead drunk 12-15 years old kids to be sure that this list is in fact just "fun stuff". One can see a lot of things if he lives in a small city with sometimes 4X more tourists than original inhabitants. | ||

People don't seem to understand that kids these days are learning about sex at much earlier ages, and are deciding to experiment. I'm not saying that they should be doing this, but it's reality. I'm pretty sure she didn't know this was going to happen(banga list) and she overreacted about how much of an impact this would have on her life and killed herself. I agree. It's very hard to have the kind of perspective necessary to weather the effects of hardcore slut-shaming, or the effects of any set of circumstances that result in your community feeling like they have an open license to hound you. We don't know to what extent slut-shaming really had an impact on her life, but it's not uncommon for women to commit suicide when their community turns against them. Often women or girls in this kind of a situation are treated as fair game for many kinds of abuse after their sex lives become exposed. Violence and emotional abuse are very common. The bottom line is that harassment for any consensual sexual practice is always wrong. | ||

O.o I speak from experience from when I was around that age, 12 year olds were NOT drinking and fucking around. 14 year olds, yea sure but 12!? Must be a cultural difference I guess. | ||

All the same, judging bad parenting and 'worth depriving your life over'? How can I judge how her parents were when the article doesn't even talk about them. Do you say it's always at least to some degree the parents fault when their child commits suicide? Maybe, but I don't. As to judge whether being on this list is worth committing suicide over, is anything really worth killing yourself over? On the surface, I can't think of anything 'worth' committing suicide over, and I think it's a combination of a ton of different things that put someone in that state. That's like saying, and not to trivialize suicide, was it worth building carriers in that game. On the surface it might seem confusing (who builds carriers?/sc2 whine) but maybe it was a PvT and the T went mass tank/hellion with a low viking count and few thors, then carriers are good. How do you look at one factor and judge a whole situation? edit: also at everyone saying she 'deserved this' or her parents 'deserved it' - have you ever had immediate family die? Tell me how people deserve to lose family then. Esp a 13 year old girl thinking her only option was to end her life. Holy shit. | ||
